Or are you looking in a time-warped mirror, Wondering? I wonder if you're mad at yourself, Seeing me where you should have been. Watching me rage when you just rolled over. Do you want me to roll over, too? I think you're resentful of me. I feel you wish you were the man I am at my age, That you can't even compare to the man you are now. My way of living is no worse than yours. I won't fall into the trap of self rightousness you did Thinking that a seven-lettered sound makes you better. I don't condecend for my blood's sake, I condesend for my sweat's sake, Even though I know that to condesend for any reason Is still wrong. Thanks for teaching me how to look down on others. | |
